    The watch made for pilots

    Bought the Apple watch 4 and within two weeks shattered the glass face on a steel gate sorting cattle. Enough of that crap.

    Just got this text from my best buddy...

    A guy at our airport was determined to take his son up on his birthday in the FBO's 152. Good plan except the winds were blowing hard and by the time he came in to land he couldn't handle the crosswind. He ended up landing on a closed runway and we had to hold the wings down as he taxied back...

    Why does it look like the camera is floating around? Doesn’t look like it’s attached to something solid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Had to turn down a student seeking flight instruction

    Every spring and fall I fly survey flights with 2 observers in a 172. The flights are every morning and my observers are all retired folks. Today I informed my boss I won’t fly them anyone. Tough call to make but it didn’t seem worth it putting everyone at risk. :( Sent from my iPhone...

    New Aspen E5 - In-Flight Crash and Reset

    This thread got me wondering. If you loose your flight display doesn’t the NTSB need to be notified? FAR 830.5 (9): (9) A complete loss of information, excluding flickering, from more than 50 percent of an aircraft's cockpit displays known as: (i) Electronic Flight Instrument System...

    The testing center has accused me of cheating on my IR written.

    Once I pasted a note on a cop car. It was a long time ago.....something about a fake parking ticket. I thought it was hilarious. The cop didn't think it was funny at all.

    So who is flying these drones?

    That's what I don't understand. In every news article I've read the authorities state they aren't breaking any laws. That's bull! Without a waiver they can't fly at night and if they had a waiver we would know who they are.

    Commanche down in San Antonio, Dec 1, 2019

    Article states: "Firefighters searched a 20-block radius to make sure the engine didn’t fall into a structure while the plane was descending." I'm confused. Was the engine not at the crash site? This has to be a case of bad reporting?

    Pranks

    Those aerosol fly spray dispensers that run on batteries...you know the ones that blast fly spray every half hour or so. Replaced the fly spray with an air horn and hid it in the bushes by my friends house on his wedding night. Took them all night to find it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Could I ignite a helium balloon by shooting a model rocket at it?

    Hydrogen and gun powder. Right before launch rub it on your head vigorously. It will help the gun powder cling to the sides of the ballon. ::just kidding::

    Fly's under bridge in PA

    I have a friend who just about flew his helicopter under a bridge but thought of all the fishing lines he’s seen hanging from other bridges with lures, weights etc. He decided it wasn’t a good idea Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    For our honeymoon the wife and I took a trip on the cruise ship Ecstasy. 20 years later we went on the same ship with our 4 kids. There was no ecstasy on trip number 2 :( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Newly installed GDL-82 not seeing traffic

    I finally got it working. Doug sent me a message saying he thought my antenna or SDR was bad. He mentioned he had a friend who had the antenna wire break off the bottom of the antenna. I pried the bottom off my antenna and sure enough the antenna wire had broken off the solder joint. Resoldered...
